65 posts in the 24 hours since Farrah’s death was announced on this thread. Is that a Ghoul Pool record? I am not including all the last minute entries on Dec 31.

Same here…I put up 116 points in '96 and 89 points in '97. Since then, it’s been a big, fat goose egg.
Can I put my ability to make picks on next year’s list?
I picked 13 people in their nineties this year, and not a one of 'em has died yet!
I don’t need to win, but I’d like a little recognition from the Fates!
in my sadness of not having picked Jackson, Fawcett, or McMahon, I checked on a few of my picks, and, lo and behold, Richard Quick has died of a brain tumor, getting me out of the zero-club
Whoa, whoa, you mean St. Peter doesn’t send Amarone a list every morning?
Must be the Michael Jackson thing, but I read this as flings NOSES at NurseCarmen
Well, the story is, MJ sneezed, his nose fell off, and when he saw in the mirror what he looked like noseless, he had a heart attack. 
too soon?
How about this one?
Farah is greeted at the Pearly Gates by St Peter himself, who gushes, spouting compliments, citing her milestones and accomplishments and says “We are bestowing upon you one wish. Anything. Anything at all in the entirety of creation.”
She thinks for a moment, this is after all a very big deal, then says “Please make the world much safer for children” . . .
yeah, it’s too soon.
No, I like that.
It’s never too soon.
How all the more sweet that was anyrose, who has long lorded it over me that I’ve had no points. Ha!
Tonight fifty points, tomorrow the world!
Does anyone know if this is true, or something that Stephan Pastis made up for his June 26 blog? 
That was reported yesterday on CNN. Apparently, Jacko’s star was covered up by the red carpet for the premier of a movie. So they settled for the other MJ.
I haven’t lorded anything over anyone in months.
I heard that his nose fell off, lodged in his throat, and he suffocated.
and this is one of the many reasons I love Two Lumps
It will be hard to win without that 50 pointer.
But that is only St. Peter’s list. It doesn’t include souls heading in the other direction.
(No insult to Richard Quick intended.)
Dammit, you’re right, I’ve got Dick Cheney.

Walter Cronkite is nearing death. He may not make it through the weekend.
Sad.
